Painful Loving Treasures: Summer Camp "I Hate it Here"
by www.SixWise.com
Who doesn’t have a cherished childhood memory of summer camp? The ghost stories, the canoe races, the S’mores, the new friends … the mosquito bites, bad food, homesickness and fights with our bunkmates!
As much as we all adored our youth, and our children’s youth, we’ve all had those camp “rescue me” letters in one form or another … and you likely still smile when you look back on them today.
John Dearlove, the CEO and Founder of SixWise.com, agrees with Diane Falanga from the Northern Suburbs of Chicago Illinois -- the author of P.S. I Hate It Here!: Kids' Letters from Camp -- that the most treasured, valued possessions we each have are from our children's expressions in photos, notes and drawings that become a montage of incredible indelible memories we each cherish.

SixWise Says ...
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
Camping is simply Nature's way of feeding tics and mosquitos.
